推理题。文中第二段倒数第三句提到“Finally，a success-ful lawyer would build up…when political competition Was not con-ducted along party lines or on the basis of doctrine．but instead was based on loose，shifting networks of personal friendships and com-mitments．”一个成功的律师会建立自己的一套政治关系网络。政治竞争不是通过政治路线或基本教义，而是通过不牢固的变化的友谊和承诺。由此可知，罗马政治家生涯的前途受友谊和承诺，即社会关系的重要影响，故选B。

2 根据下面资料，回答题。
One of the key challenges in urban architecture over the next 50 years will be figuring out how to squeeze vast numbers of additional people into urban areas that are already extremely crowded.
London, for example, will somehow have to deal with a projected 100,000 extra inhabitants every year until 2016. The current plan of building new "satellite towns" of the city causes a lot of prob-lems-but architecture think tanks are working on ambitious solutions that go vertical instead of horizontal in search of space.
In terms of population density, London is one of the least crowded major cities in the world--four times fewer people per square kilometer than Paris, for example, six times fewer than New York and eight times fewer than Cairo. But the fact remains that the city´ s population is growing at a rapid rate, and horizontal expansion into the surrounding areas is eating up increasingly important agricultural land, as well as worsening all the transport problems that come with urban growth.
Popular Architecture would propose a radically different solution. The proposal is to go up-wards, with vertical towers of considerable size, each representing an entire new town by the time it´ s completed. Each tower would be 1500 meters high. Beyond mere accommodation, each tower would function as an entire town unit, with its own schools, hospitals, parks and gardens, sports facilities, business areas and community spaces. The population density of such a tower could help lower the individual energy requirements of each inhabitant, reducing the ecological impact of the population as a whole.
The village towers are considered as hollow tubes, with large holes to allow light and air through the entire construction. Occasional floor discs spread throughout the height of the building will give inhabitants large central areas in the middle of the tube to use as gathering spaces.
While the building itself is unlikely ever to be seriously considered for construction-imagine the number of elevators it would need，let alone the safety implications of open areas at such heights and with such wind exposure--the concept can serve as a conversation—starter for urban planners looking to face the challenges of the current and coming centuries.
One key challenging task for urban architects in future is to__________．

A．build new satellite towns

B．work out ambitious plans

C．design less crowded cities

D．accommodate more inhabitants
